Born of the ashes of the now legendary Chicago emo outfit
Braid, Hey Mercedes had a tough reputation, not to mention
their work cut out for them from the start. It all began in
mid-'99, when Braid decided to call it quits and original
guitarist Chris Broach left the group. They closed out their
career with a series of well-received and well-documented
local shows before Broach went on to work with his other
act, the Firebird Band, and the remaining members ù
guitarist vocalist Bob Nanna, drummer Damon Atkinson, and
bassist Todd Bell ù attempted to return to their normal
lives. Normal lives being as often boring as they are, it
was mere months before the three decided to regroup, and Hey
Mercedes was born. Drafting former Alligator Gun guitarist
and Milwaukee native Mark Dawursk, Hey Mercedes officially
came into being in April of 2000, and almost immediately
headed into the studio to record a four-song EP for the
Danville, IL-based Polyvinyl Records. The self-titled disc
was a mix of the churning syncopations of Braid and a
newfound melodic structure, highlighted by Nanna's
fantastically solid vocal presence and a more laid-back but
still commanding musical approach from the rest of the band.
Eschewing the more aggressive nature of their old music, Hey
Mercedes was a more accessible and melodic entity, and it
didn't take long for their songs to win the hearts of a new
generation of young music fans caught up in the burgeoning
emo trend. Many still existing old connections led to
high-profile touring slots with acts like Jets to Brazil,
Saves the Day, and Alkaline Trio, and soon the band was
signed to Vagrant Records, a trend-setting and powerhouse
label in the genre. Early 2001 saw the group head back in
the studio with producer J. Robbins to record their debut
full-length, a powerful 11-song effort, entitled Everynight
Fire Works, which after countless delays was finally
released by Vagrant in October of 2001. The record is a
continuation of the band's commendable post-emo songwriting,
and may be the final nail in the coffin of Braid, as it
appears Hey Mercedes is now an act well worth mentioning in
their own right.
Enjoy this band!
